WORTHY OF Considorptio,,.

The following letters refer to a subject
in which every citizen should feel a deep
interest, and it is to be hoped that the
views expressed by the writers will be con-
cured in so generally by our public spirited
business men as to insure large and gen
eral circulation throughout the older states
of the pamphlet to which they allude. 1t
is very certain that the book is calculated
to promote the interests of our city. both
directly and indirectly, inasmuch as it calls
attention to the immense resources of the
territory tributary to st. Paul, and must
exert considerable influence in forwarding
its settlement and early development: while.
at the same time. it must carry conviction
to the mind of every attentive reader, that
st. Paul is the natural emporium of this
magnificent empire, and will grow in
population. wealth and influence with the
growth of the country tributary to it. The
three letters given are selected from num-
Der which the author has received. The
writer's are well known as gentlemen of
business ability and good Judgment. who
would hardly commend work of this
character if not entirely worthy:

Young. Dear Sill: have carefully read your
book, st. Paul, the Commercial Emporium
of the Northwest and desire to say that you
have succeeded admirably in getting to-
gether an immense amount of valuable IN
formation in a condensed form. 1t is the
best advertisement St. Paul ever had, and it
is the duty of every business man in the city
to give il broad circulation. ] trust that
you may dispose of many thousands to those
who desire to promote the best interests of
our city and state. Your OBJ edient servant,
r. W. JOHNsoN.
II. II. Young. Dear Sir: Your book entitled
Northwest is the best statistical work that
| have ever seen of this city, and l think /
have seen them ali during the past thirteen
years. 1t is conservative, free from eXagger-
alton and reliable. 1t is more liable to be
read by cautious, careful investors, or people
desiring to locate III business, than most of
the literature sent from here. l heartily re-
commend it as a work which should he fully
circulated through the East and in Europe,
Tor it is one which will be perused and receive
| consideration. A work which will benefit st.
Paul more than any eXaggerative literature
can possibly do. Respectfully yours,
| st. Paul, Mimi, January, 18S7.-H. H.
! Young, ESQ. Dear Sir: l have read your
work entitled. st Paul, the Commercial En-

so clearly the vast area and wonderful re-
sources of the country tributary to st. Paul
and its present condition of development
Your official position as state commissioner

| has pre- minently qualified you for this work
| / consider your well authenticated facts bear

mighty region, of vastly more significance

any mere statement of the past or presen

| growth may be; for, with all its commercial
| and manufacturing advantages its future
depends largely upon the future of the tribu
tary country. l think you have most clearly

| which Is inevitably theirs, That citizen, i
seems to me, WHO does not place as nany OF
| these books as possible where they ought Il
